Should an abscessed tooth be removed or treated if there is no pain but the X-rays show the tooth to be abscessed?
Yes, you should have an abscessed tooth either removed (or a root canal) done. It depends on what the dentist says. First, the dentist will put you on antibiotics to be sure the abscess is cleared up and then do the procedure. Most dentists prefer to save your teeth if at all possible so discuss the root canal as an option.
What does it mean if you had an abscessed tooth got a root canal and the abscess seems to be coming back?
A dentist, specifically yours, would probably suggest removal of the tooth - especially if the abscess has come back.
How can you cure tooth abscess?
An abscessed tooth can be treated with a root canal and a crown, or with an apicoectomy (if the root canal has failed) or with an extraction. Only your dentist can tell you which option is best for your individual situation.
How long does it take to heal after a root canal?
It should take approximately two to three weeks for a root canal to heal. If your tooth still hurts you should set up an appointment to see your dentist.
Should you have let the dentist do a root canal on your nine year old?

What antibiotic should be taken for an abscessed molar tooth?
I have been given Amoxicillan for two of my abscess tooth problems. but that won't do the whole trick if the infection is spread too much. You will have to have a root canal. Also be careful taking antibiotics for too long, they can kill off good bacteria in your stomach (drink buttermilk) or ask for a supplement of that in the pharmacy (non prescription but it's behind the counter).
Why would a regular dentist sent a patient to endodontist?
A patient would be referred to an endodontist if the patient needed a root canal procedure. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in root canal procedures.
I had to have a second root canal on the same tooth because the first one failed Shouldn't I get a partial rebate from the 1st dentist?
Unless you can demonstrate that the first dentist was somehow negligent or incompetent, no, you should not expect a rebate. Root canal therapy is not guaranteed. These procedures can and do fail through no one's fault.
Should a root canal be performed if infected?
Yes! In fact, half of the time, its the root canal which clears away the infection as your dentist would usually file away the "bad" part of the tooth anyway.
Should your dentist crown a painful tooth which has an old white filling without taking an x-ray or seeing if you need a root canal?
No.
How much does a failed root canal job cost?
Call the dentist that did your root canal or any current dentist. When the nerve dies the tooth turns grey. Then the tooth has to be pulled. Depending on where your 'root canal' is, you may need a bridge or implant. This was my experience. Cost would depend on the dentist fee and insurance consideration. Blessings.
I had a root canal on tooth days ago. Still taking strong pain pills and antibiotics. Dentist said he does not know anything else to do. Any suggestions?
First continue taking antibiotics, secondly if the root canal was completed you SHOULD NOT be having any pain at all. If your dentist does not know what else to do, you should search out another dentist that can help you. also if you are in that much pain that you need pain killers, something else could be going on. See another dentist as soon as you can, but stay on the antibiotics to be safe.
